Is my Apple iPhone SE (2020 and 2022) carrier unlocked?

✅ If you bought your iPhone SE (2020 and 2022) directly from Apple, it's already unlocked and ready to use with any eSIM.

If you got your iPhone SE (2020 and 2022) from a mobile carrier as part of a contract or payment plan, it might be carrier-locked. Don't worry - this is less common nowadays! However, please check with your carrier to confirm your device can connect with other networks.


A carrier-unlocked device simply means you can:

• Use eSIMs from any network provider
• Switch carriers whenever you want
• Use local eSIMs when traveling abroad

Not sure about your device? Simply contact your network provider to check - they can unlock it for you if needed.
